Football theme boys bedroom that doesn't look cheesy

Question

We are moving into a new home in a few days and I am trying to figure out how to paint my 8 y/o son's room. He wants a Football room but everything I am finding looks so cheesy :(    I found colors that I like in the Behr paint line that are Aged Parchment (Creamy off while) Antique Tin (Silver/Grey) Cracked Pepper (Black) Royal Liqueur (Deep Carmel Brown). For the accent wall I was going to pain it Flat Royal Liqueur and stencil Footballs randomly with a metallic or gloss paint.  What  I need help with is figuring out what to do with the other 3 walls. I was thinking about alternating stripes, with the other colors,  but I have never done stripes. I am leaning towards a vintage/antique style.   Any ideas or suggestions??  Thank you!!
